I think I was reading trash like the Hardy Boys at that age. Good for you for caring. (and you do not necessarily have to volunteer to Mom that he was up that late) Great story.

I have always been an avid reader, and I was not brought up in a Christian household. Looking back, I wish my parents would have monitored my reading more closely. I became a Christian in my mid thirties (I am now in my late thirties), and I am very conscious of what I read now. I still read a great deal for entertainment, but I am very conscious of the kind of works that I now read--and I also read more for education and enlightenment.

Of course, someday soon I'll probably wish my munchkins were still at home, kept me up til midnight, and woke me up at 6am....someday. that’s really great – thanks for sharing.

They are now re-reading them on their own. The discussions about the stories, and about life as it relates to the Truths embodied there, are even better than the stories themselves!
